Quote from AAAintheBeltway:
Probably the dumbest, most misleading thread in years.
Obama and "improving economy" do not belong in the same sentence.
He pissed away billions to reward his constituencies, then spent the next two years demagoguing in an attempt to force republican voters to pay for it. All those public sector "jobs saved" represent a transfer of money from people in responsible states to those in profligate ones like California and Illinois, which just happened to be crucial to his election and reelection.
Why should taxpayers in NY support the ridiculous pay and retirement plans of state workers in California? Like tax increases at the federal level, it just postpones the day of reckoning and makes the ultimate cost higher.
Obama killed tens of thousands of jobs with his Obamacare, killed tens of thousands more with his war on energy production and killed who knows how many with his far left union and greenhouse gas policies.
He has created a lot of jobs though...in China and India.
